We (myself, Mikey, Jason Hughes, and Wade Selph) walked the course today and did a little bit of tweaking. The layout is real nice right now, but may need some input from everyone to help make it perfect. The landis amazing, and with help and recommendations from the players, this could be the best course in GA. Pleasedo your best to make the fundraiser so that you can be a part of making this course awesome.

I'll be there on my 18th Anniversary (and you guys are scared to play on Valentine's Day )with my Chainstar and some CTP goodies. If someone can get my basket to me I'll leave it there for the entire day, if not I'll set it up close to Tournament Central and then it can be replaced by someone elses Skillshot or whatever for the second round.

Thanks Keith!

I will get your basket back to you if you do not mind leaving it for the day!

Remember that this event is to allow local disc golfers to critique the layout before it is in place as well as to raise funds for the additional 10 baskets needed to finish it. The $10 entrywill help, but please feel free to donate more if your budget allows. Let's get this course in quick!

I looked at the layout on Google Earth Pro and from what my mind imagine's for that tract........You outdid yourself Mr. Dames.......I know I will have a great time no matter how well I play.......You got the most you could out of the land.

"Though no one can go back in time and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."

If you did not make it out you missed it. It was a great day. Okay so the wind was cold and my game was just okay. Come out and see the course. I want to thank all that made today happen. I was glad to see not only did we have all "temp" baskets in place but we had more than enough baskets. Thank you Mike D for setting up and running this event. Before the next event you might want to get out and walk some.

My only criticism is the placement of the tee pads. There is so much land out there that there should not be uphill/downhill teepads. (#4 is the one that sticks out the most... also the second hole after the downhill wooded hole) I think some of the pads could have moved 15' forward or backward and it would have helped alot. I know the course is very premature and the installation of concrete teepads could resovle this so this issue is not that major but I would like it to be considered once it moves closer to becoming permanent.

The course itself is great and the land/park is simply made for disc golf!

Great course I really liked it. Glad it will be my new home course. The one thing that it is missing are some par fours. Like Brim said with that amount of land par fours could take that course to the next level. Well done Mike and Greg! Overall great course.

Rand,

Watch for some par 4 holes during tournaments... One that comes to mind is hole #12 teepad to hole #13 basket.we will then add a hole after current hole 18 that shoots back up the hill to finish by hole 1 teepad.

One that I am flirting with right now, is hole #15 teepad to hole #16 basket (hole 16 basket sits right on the lake shore). You would have to be careful not only on your teeshot but also on the approach or you would get wet.

Or... How bout hole 17 teepad to hole 18 basket??? Can you clear that water in one shot or do you play it safe??

What about hole 2 teepad to hole 3 basket???

Lots of possibilitys with this land so watch for some nasty surprises during tournament play!!

Let's revisit this idea Mike! There is an awesome shot if you tee off near the walking path and play the fairway kinda behind the bathroom. There is a nice par-3 spot in the woods, and a par-4 pin location if you extend toward 1's teebox. I think the current setup for 13 is pretty weak IMO, but I know we had to arrange something in time for Fright Flight. If we make the new hole, or another one somewhere else, we can combine 12&13 into a solid par 4.

Not without losing 16 completely- in the past when the tee was over by the trees it would have been possible, but now - no chance without relocating 15 basket and losing 16 completely.

I had already spoken with Mikey and Wade at Fright Flight about a possible solution to the 13/14 basket-tee issues which would preserve all the neighbor issues and let 13, 14, 15 and 16 remain as decent holes.
